KINDS OF LAW

INTRODUCTION:
Law is a rule of conduct. Conduct is behaviour. Behaviour is on the
earth, between human beings for the sake of maintaining peace and
order. The growth, development and further progress of mankind
requires it everywhere. Law regulates almost all aspects of human
life. Terms like human rights and fundamental rights are of great use
when there are laws behind them to define, execute and implement
them. They are of no use if there is no such law in any society. A
human is full of capacities and capabilities and blessed by nature
with many faculties which are all can be used as well as abused.
Despite all such option there is need for regulation of human
relations at all levels, individual, collective and universal. Liberty is
not unbridled. It is to remain civilized, just, reasonable and fair.

KINDS OF LAW:
Broadly speaking there are two main kinds of Law

(i) National Law i.e. the body of rules which regulates the
actions of the people in society and it is backed by the
coercive power of the State.
(ii) International Law i.e. the body of rules which guides and
directs the behaviour of the states in international
relations. It is backed by their willingness and consent
that the states obey rules of International Law. It is a law
among nations and is not backed by any coercive power.

National Law is the law by which the people are governed

by the state. It stands classified into several kinds:

1. Constitutional Law
 2. Ordinary law
It is stands classified into two sub types:
2 (a)Private Law
2 (b)Public Law
It stands again sub-divided into two parts:
2(b) (i) General Public Law
2(b) (ii) Administrative Law.
